Check the route, port and sailing before you travel
Ferry journeys can vary significantly by route and operator. Check the exact departure port, arrival port, sailing time and check-in requirements before committing to onward road, rail or hotel arrangements.
If you are travelling with a vehicle, enter the correct vehicle details during the booking search. Foot-passenger availability, vehicle types, cabins, reserved seating and onboard services can differ between sailings.
- Confirm the correct departure and arrival ports
- Allow enough time for the operator's required check-in
- Check passenger and vehicle details before payment
Ferry tickets for different ways to travel
Search the booking engine using the passenger and vehicle details that match your journey.
Foot passengers
Search passenger-only crossings where the selected route and operator accept travellers without a vehicle.
Cars & vehicles
Enter the correct vehicle type and dimensions where requested so the booking search can return suitable sailings.

Review the final sailing details before you pay
Check the ferry operator, route, departure time, passenger names, vehicle information and any accommodation or seating selections before completing the reservation. Pay particular attention to fare conditions where a ticket is restricted, non-refundable or subject to amendment charges.
Once the booking has been completed, use the confirmation supplied by the booking provider for the correct check-in instructions, terminal information and relevant contact details for that reservation.
Compare ferry routes, then build the rest of the journey
FerryEU brings together route information, destinations, ferry companies and booking tools so you can plan a crossing as part of a wider UK or European journey. Start with the ferry route and dates, then use the destination, hotel and train pages to organise the parts of the trip on either side of the sailing.
For travellers taking a car, motorhome, motorcycle or other vehicle, ferries can provide a practical way to move between countries and islands without leaving the vehicle behind. Foot passengers can also use many ferry routes as part of a rail, coach or city-break itinerary.
Schedules and prices can change, so use the live booking engine for current availability and review the final operator and booking-provider information before travel.
